Summary
Carlos Ulberg, the UFC's new light heavyweight champion after his knockout win vs. Jiri Prochazka, makes HIS DEBUT on the Daniel Cormier show! Ulberg talks about his upbringing in New Zealand and how being in foster care during his childhood helped shape the man and champion he is today. The champ gets into the viral comments made by Jiri Prochazka following the title fight at UFC 327 in Miami, and why he wasn't in his right state of mind when he called him out and said he "showed mercy." Carlos also reveals why he ended his rugby career short and eventually decided he'd take on fighting full time. And don't miss Ulberg talk about a potential fight with Alex Pereira, his ACL injury and the rehab process, and so much more! #Volume #herd
